Yes! I’ve had a few instances. What about water hazards—are we all clear on re-teeing there?

Water hazards have specific rules, laura! You either drop or re-tee, depending on how far back you want to play. I usually just take the re-tee option to simplify my choices!

That’s a solid choice, David! Less complication is always better. Re-teeing can put you back in the right mindset, too.

Golf rules are so vast! Sometimes it feels like I need a manual. I love the idea of sharing experiences so we can help each other navigate these quirks.

Absolutely, Teresa! And who needs a dull manual when you have this lively discussion? It keeps the game fun and engaging, despite all the rules!

It does keep it interesting! Just remember, if your ball lands in an unusual place, don’t panic. Always think first before re-teeing or making a drop! Anyone ever had a re-tee laugh moment?

Oh yes! There was a time I teed off and it hit a tree branch, bounced right back at me! I couldn’t help but laugh! Golf is indeed full of surprises.
